In nursing practice, accurate identification and application of   research is essential to achieving successful outcomes. Being able to   articulate the information and successfully summarize relevant   peer-reviewed articles in a scholarly fashion helps to support the   student’s ability and confidence to further develop and synthesize the   progressively more complex assignments that constitute the components   of the course change proposal capstone project.

For this assignment, the student will provide a synopsis of eight   peer-reviewed articles from nursing journals using an evaluation table   that determines the level and strength of evidence for each of the   eight articles. The articles should be current within the last 5 years   and closely relate to the PICOT statement developed earlier in this   course. The articles may include quantitative research, descriptive   analyses, longitudinal studies, or meta-analysis articles. A   systematic review may be used to provide background information for   the purpose or problem identified in the proposed capstone project.   Use the “Literature Evaluation Table” resource to complete   this assignment.

While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment,   solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and   references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines,   which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student   Success Center.

Your assignment this week will be an APA paper to include title page, level headings, and a reference page.

Case study #1 

Mrs. Franklin-Jones was admitted from the Emergency Room to Cardiac Intensive Care one week ago with a diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction. She has recovered as expected and is moving to the cardiac step down unit today. She is talking with Nurse Julie Hernandez, as she gets settled in her new room, “I was really surprised when I got that bad pain in my chest! I knew I had high pressure but I just didn’t think it was that bad. I try to take my medicine like they told me to in the clinic but sometimes I forget. I guess that I need to study those papers they gave me about what foods I should eat and not eat. I better take care of myself! Momma had bad pressure and it killed her! Who knows—I may even have to learn to cook different than I was taught in Jamaica! I may have to let Tomas do the cooking. He’s got more time at home now than I do since he lost his job. There isn’t too much time between my shifts at the school cafeteria and my new housecleaning job. You know my sister is coming up from Jamaica to see me. I think she is bringing me some bush tea. That’ll set me right!”

• Using Leininger’s Culture Care Model, what factors in the story shared by Mrs. Franklin-Jones should be considered by Nurse Hernandez when planning for the patient’s discharge?
• Why is the theory of Culture Care Diversity important in the delivery of nursing care for all patients?
• Using Leininger’s Theory of Culture Care Diversity and Universality, develop a plan of care for Mrs. Franklin-Jones.
• Discuss the strengths and limits to Leininger’s Theory.

Case Study #2

Claude Jean-Baptiste is recovering from post-hip replacement surgery and has been transferred to the Rehabilitation Institute adjacent to the hospital. When he enters the unit, he sees welcoming signs written in several languages including his own, Creole. Since there are no nurses on that shift that speak Creole, they use a language line to ask for translation services. During this initial nursing assessment, the translator informs Mr. Jean-Baptiste that the nurses invite him to have a relative at his side so that they can be sure to understand and meet his needs. He is asked about Haitian customs and beliefs that they might honor. Mr. Jean-Baptiste is encouraged to bring food and spiritual care items, and to share the warmth of his culture with the nursing staff.

• Discuss assumptions of the Transpersonal Caring relationship. What is the nurse’s role?
• How is love, as defined by Watson, evident in this caring moment?
• How can the nurse creatively use self to create a healing environment?
• Discuss the strengths and limits to Watson’s Theory.
